What do you think?
Until You Fall
*Love means knowing what you're willing to lose.*
I learned early in life that no one saves you.
You save yourself—or you don’t.
But when the foster agency gifts me with a brother, I vow to protect him at all costs.
He’s the only thing good I’ve ever been trusted with—the best part of me— so I learn to take the hits and keep life’s worst pointed at me, not him.
I don’t have room for anything else. Especially not her.
Veronica Stone is all sharp smiles and restless dreams, a girl with a map of the world carved into her heart and a past she’s still trying to outrun. She wants freedom. I want survival. Falling for her was never part of the plan.
But the problem with loving someone is that it gives you something to lose.
Some people get futures.
Some are meant to be saved.
Others are meant to do the saving.
I’ve always known which one I am.
Because loving someone—really loving them—means knowing when to step in front of the damage. And letting it end with you.

Absolutely incredible book. I was hooked from start to finish. My heart went out to Ryder and the struggles he went through. Trying to protect Woods, give him a better life while being so damn selfless at the same time. Veronica was so good for him. She showed him that he was allowed to want things for himself, that he deserved better than what he was given. He deserved everything. But that freaking ending...!!! I was sobbing the entire time. I knew he was going to take the fall, knew he would take the blame. God, I loved him so much and I hope and hope and hope that you give him a good ending. A HAPPY ending!! He deserves the world. Dying for the next book.

A raw and potent love story. Ryder’s life is being about protecting his foster brother at all cost. But now that Veronica has entered their lives, opening his heart seems possible until the reality of his choices hit them all. Powerful. Looking forward to read the next book in the series
